It's been full steam ahead for Metrolinx's Ontario Line, but some of the residents near the under-construction Pape stop say they're feeling railroaded by the provincial transit agency.Stacey Reid lives a few blocks from the construction site. She's concerned about construction vehicles endangering kids walking to walking to school and blocking sight lines for drivers.
A spokesperson for Metrolinx wouldn't agree to an on-camera interview with CBC Toronto, but said in a statement the agency has been working hard to meet the residents' demands for less disruption by doing things like scheduling noisier activities for daytime hours. "My kids are walking to school every day. What are they going to encounter?" Reid said. "I'm really afraid somebody is going to be hit or killed."
"No one is saying they shouldn't be building," Tabuns said. "The question is: are you putting in place the policies and procedures that could minimize the harm?" Work on the Pape stop began in July. Residents say problems with noise, dust, vibration and added traffic cropped up almost immediately and have persisted, even though Metrolinx has taken some measures to mitigate the issues.
